Possible Outcomes

Strength and Durability:

Both characters have incredible strength and durability, but Power Girl might have a slight edge in raw physical power due to her Kryptonian heritage.

Energy Manipulation:

Captain Marvel's ability to absorb and project energy could provide her with an advantage in a prolonged fight, especially if she can absorb Power Girl's heat vision or other energy attacks.

Tactical Skills:

Captain Marvel's military background may offer strategic advantages in combat situations.

Conclusion

Based on the above analysis, the outcome of a battle between Captain Marvel and Power Girl could go either way depending on the circumstances.

If Captain Marvel can leverage her energy absorption and combat experience, she might prevail.

However, if Power Girl can utilize her strength and durability effectively, she could come out on top.

Ultimately, the answer would depend on the storyline and the context in which they are fighting.

Analysis and Speculation

I tend to think that the winner of the battle would be Power Girl. Mainly because she doesn’t really fight normally like a Kryptonian. She doesn’t utilize her heat vision often and relies more on her physical prowess. Super-Speed would also be a problem for Captain Marvel as Power Girl tends to go all out in her battles and keeps the fights up close and personal.

It would be a long battle, but eventually, Captain Marvel would be worn down due to her reliance on energy absorption. However, for Captain Marvel to win, she'd have to take advantage more of using tactics against her opponent. She faces all of these challenges, and her tactical intelligence would play a significant role.

Captain Marvel isn't stronger than Power Girl unless she’s fully powered up. A fully powered-up Captain Marvel takes the fight but even then, it would be an intense battle. Due to DC focusing mainly on Superman and Batman, other DC characters often get the short end of the stick. But in general, DC characters are stronger than Marvel characters.

Although if Captain Marvel still won somehow, I wouldn’t be mad at all as certain situations could easily put her on top. However, in general, Power Girl is pretty formidable on paper. Writers often get so distracted by her other assets that they tend to forget how powerful she actually is.
